Texans scramble to fill QB, OL holes

 

Schaub and running back Green may join Weary, White on team's injured reserve list

 

The Monday morning meetings keep getting longer for Texans coaches and scouts. With four games left in the season, the Texans are in dire need of a quarterback, right guard and center.

 

Just like the hottest toys of the holiday season, the most desired players are owned by someone else in early December. Shoppers must be ambitious and creative. The Texans are trying to be both as they tinker with their roster.

 

They plan to sign guard Mike Brisiel from the practice squad to the active roster this week, and re-sign center/guard Drew Hodgdon, who spent two seasons with the Texans before being cut Aug. 31.

 

Brisiel and Hodgdon will fill the roster spots of right guard Fred Weary (leg) and guard/center Chris White (knee), who are headed to injured reserve.

 

"(General manager) Rick (Smith) and I spent a ton of time trying to decide where we're going to go with this group, especially up front," coach Gary Kubiak said. "There are many, many issues to deal with right there, along with our quarterback issue, trying to decide where we go this week if Matt (Schaub) is unable to go. So a lot of things, a lot of decisions that we've got to make real fast as we get ready to play Tampa Bay."

 

With Weary and White being added, the Texans have an NFL-high 16 players on injured reserve.

 

Schaub, whose left arm was in a sling Monday, and running back Ahman Green remain candidates for the injured reserve, but Kubiak is hopeful they will still play this season.

 

When Schaub missed the Oakland game with a concussion, the Texans signed Craig Nall as a backup to Sage Rosenfels. But they released him Nov. 21, and the Packers signed him Sunday.
